This episode of the Native Business Podcast, recorded live at the 2019 Native Business Summit, focuses on the Hemp opportunity in Indian Country and is titled: "Industrial Hemp: Doing Well by Doing Good". This podcast discusses the tremendous business potential of legal industrial hemp and the thousands of products it can produce. In addition to being a profitable agricultural commodity, hemp is environmentally positive and can remove carbon from the air and toxins from the land. Native-owned businesses have unique opportunities and commercial advantages in the hemp industry, and can partner with Tribes and other enterprises to create sustainable crops and in-demand value added products.
